Roger and his classmates are practicing for the upcoming Halloween play. They want everything to be right when their parents and friends come to the school auditorium. Roger has a small but very important part. He waited patiently backstage and then made his grand entrance. He really was the center of attention and later that night Dad photographed Roger in his fabulous costume from the play. That there is a part in a play for everyone is evident in this sweet, upbeat story. Stage struck youngsters will delight in discovering there are no small parts. In this case, all the actors are small mice. The board book format works well here, as the expressive mice prepare and present their holiday play. Note, this book was previously issued as The Halloween Performance. 2003 (orig. 1999, 1983), Laura Geringer Books/HarperCollins,— Sharon Salluzzo
